Hello Amr, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.
The programmers have decided not to address this problem. They have provided an explanation above. I am clearing up the old thunderbird tickets. I am changing status of the "thunderbird" portion of this ticket to "won't fix," to match the "language-selector" portion of this ticket. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.
